I was really happy with our rental here -

I was really happy with our rental here, especially for our first trip to Iceland. We got a Suzuki Swift economy car for the two of us to drive around southern Iceland for five days. The car was a perfect choice for us. It’s a busy place, our car wasn’t as clean and perfect as what we’ve been accustomed to in the U.S., but the price was right for $147. When we turned the car in at the end of our trip, there were no extra fees tacked on, no surprises on our bill—we paid exactly what we reserved the car for weeks before our trip: $147. Do yourself a favor and invest in one of the road maps they sell in their office; you’ll not regret it. We will return next year and will likely rent from them again. A small bit of additional advice: Consider opting paying for gravel insurance. We found loose gravel everywhere, and discovering that made me drive a lot slower to avoid damaging the car. We were fortunate that we did not have any damage, but the fear of ruining the paint and getting charged

Just hop on board the free shuttle bus that goes every fifteen minutes around-the-clock between the arrival hall and car rentals. When you exit the customs area, continue straight ahead and outside the airport entrance. From there, you walk through a covered footpath and at the end of the path you will find the shuttle service. Exit the shuttle at stop number 3. We are in the same office as Átak car rental, just follow the SADcars logo.

You may be able to pay with a debit card on our website, if your card has an online payment option.

We also require a credit card number when you pick up the car to guarantee the rental agreement. If you only have a debit card, we accept debit cards that have the 16 digit number on the front if you also buy our Platinum Insurance package for the duration of your rental period.

Our business concept is that we rent out good solid cars that are older, although never older then 5 years old. Therefore, we are able to use cheaper cars with lower depreciation - and this delivers the very low rent price directly affecting your costs of travelling in Iceland.

You need a valid driving license and a credit card in your name when you pick up the car to guarantee the rental agreement.

If the renter does not hold a valid credit card, we offer the option of listing another person as the driver, the renter will then be listed as an extra driver. The renter and all drivers have to be present to sign the rental agreement at pick up.

The credit card has to be valid for 100 days after the rental period ends.

Please note that we do not accept prepaid credit cards to guarantee the rental agreement!
If you do not have a valid credit card, we accept debit cards and prepaid credit cards that have the 16 digit number on the front if you also purchase our Platinum Insurance package for the duration of your rental period. If we can not be sure that your card is a credit card, for any reason, you will have to purchase our Platinum Insurance package. If you are not sure about what type of card you have, feel free to contact us by replying to this e-mail and we will look up your card number.

This means that if you only present your debit or pre-paid credit card at time of pick up, but decide not to take Platinum insurance, no refund will be made as that is considered a cancellation within our 48 hour no cancellation period.

All our cars have the obligatory Third Party Liability Insurance (TPL) under Icelandic law - this covers third party damage or loss in an accident.

The renter is always responsible for damages which are not covered by any of our insurance. Examples of this are:
• Damages caused to the underside and the top of the vehicle. This also applies if the vehicle rolls over.
• Damages caused when driving off road or through waters and rivers
• Damages caused to the tires or the wheels of the car (unless you have (TI) tire insurance)
• Damages caused by the wind blowing up the door
• Damages caused by negligence or driving while intoxicated

For a full list of what is not covered as well as details about our Insurance check out our Terms page.

Please also note that towing and rescue is never included in self risk/deductible.

SADCars has service partners all around the country if something breaks down or if something has to be replaced. If you have an accident or the car totally breaks down we will of course replace the car with a new one.

Should the car break down, you can call our 24 hour hotline and we will decide if the car is repairable or if you need a new car. If the car is repairable then we will direct you to one of our numerous service partners around the country. If it is not then we will bring you a new car right away.

We have a road side service network all over the country so if something happens to the car we can quickly assist you but the cost of that is not included in the price if you have an accident. If the car on the other hand breaks down the car will be fixed for free or you will get another car. If for example in case you have a flat tyre, that is not included in the cost of the rental of the car. All the cars have spare tyres and someone could come and change the tyre if necessary.
